An update on some non-red and red kitties whom we know and love

Cajsa, 1999-2015

 Cajsa, born, 29th May 1999, died 9th July 2015

This is the very last photo of my first cat, Cajsa. My daughter, Elisabet, and her father, took Cajsa to the vet's, where she was put to sleep.

Cajsa was suffering from cancer tumors and, being already 16 years old, she did not have much strength to fight it. 

Cajsa was the mother of thirteen kittens in three litters. She was my dear friend, companion, inspiration and comfort. May she rest in peace.

Cajsa is buried on the farm in a grave next to her daughter, Sara, who died 6th February 2013.

Cajsa's daughter, Matilda (born 5th April 2011) is now my sole, cat-companion.

Matilda's daughter, Rosetta, spent three weeks with us this summer (4th-26th July)

Rosetta hugging and napping with her mother, Matilda.

Mostly, mother and daughter got along well:

with some bickering...

and making up afterwards.

Is this alright?

Eventually, in September, we will have a new cat, as Elisabet's own, little Vanessa, born in June. (She is the grandchild of the cat Anna-Lisa, Rosetta's paternal grandmother. Vanessa is Rosetta's cousin):

 

In spite of Elisabet's cat-fur-allergy, we are not quite finished with cats. I am not getting much writing done. Maybe I could write a cat story or two? Some day. 

Why should we allow these obviously non-redcats a post on the Red Cat Society Blog?

Because these cats are related to some very dear red cats: Anna-Lisa

Olle is a huggable kitten!

and, of course, the twins, Lars and Sigge:

Lars and Sigge would have been great heirs of the Red Cat Society, but they wanted a to live a more outdoor cat-life, and not a cooped-up apartment cat-life. So I let them move to good people who could give them that.

Rosetta and Elisabet

Sweet little Rosetta lives in Söderköping, but comes to visit us on holidays and summer vacation.

Olle would also have been a great addition to the Red Cat Society, but he and his sister are moving to a farm, where I know he will be happy.

Best wishes,

Ahh. Nap Time!

Where's the Kitty?

For some odd reason, Hobbes thinks we can't see him when he hides under the cuttings.  

  He is orange AND he is very large.  He is not invisible by any means.

 I like his positive attitude though.

Red Kitty Checking In!

Hello?  Anybody home?  Or is everyone feeling as laid back as Red Kitty?

We're back in our summer camper mode here, working at the campground.  Yep, the old camping kitties meme......

Man this camper seems small compared to our new digs in town, but with new scratching posts in every possible corner, with all the windows open, with a big cozy bed to lounge on, I guess everyone is doing as well as possible.  I'd be so happy if this group of felines could pitch in and help me some as there's too much work to do here....but at least I have them to keep me warm at night.  You see, it's been around 34F the past couple of nights--forget Three Dog Night--I've got a Three Cat Night......no doubt we'll be complaining about the heat any day now....

So Red Kitty wants to know, wassup with all the other red kitties out there???
